Excellent opportunitites for undergraduate, postgraduate and postdoctoral study
A multidisciplinary research institute
Quick links
The Institute is part of the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences
Undergraduate Degree Programmes -
A multidisciplinary research institute
We integrate expertise in animal biology and ecology with that in comparative and veterinary medicine. Unique in the UK, the range of our studies spans multiple biological levels: from research into molecules and cells, to research into individuals, human populations and ecosystems.
Given the threats posed by rapid environmental change and our increasing human population, there has never been a more pressing need for our holistic approach. We are driven by the need to create multidisciplinary teams to address national and global research challenges. Always striving to understand the interdependence of animal and human populations, ecosystems and the environment, our research explores the consequences of this interdependence for disease pathogenesis and transmission, food security and the conservation of species and habitat, using the full range of approaches from empirical experiments to theoretical modelling.

The Series opened at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field, and the Dodgers took a
4-2 victory behind the complete-game pitching of Joe Black, a rookie who'd
started only twice during the regular season. Duke Snider hit a two-run
homer for the Dodgers, and double-play partners Pee Wee Reese and Jackie
Robinson chipped in with solo shots. In Game 2, Billy Martin and Vic Raschi
paced the Yankees to a 7-1 decision, Martin smacking a three-run homer
and Raschi allowing just three hits while going the distance.
The Dodgers owned a slim 3-2 lead after eight innings of Game 3 at Yankee
Stadium, then tallied another pair of runs when Reese and Robinson were
able to score on Yogi Berra's passed ball in the top of the ninth. Those
runs proved important when Yankee pinch-hitter Johnny Mize homered into
the left-field stands in the bottom of the frame, making the final score
5-3, Brooklyn. Game 4 was all Allie Reynolds, as the Yankee ace tossed
a four-hit shutout to beat Joe Black, 2-0.
The Dodgers led 4-0 in Game 5, a three-run rally in the fifth capped
by Duke Snider's two-run homer to right center. But the Yankees came back
with five runs in the bottom of the fifth, the last three coming on Mize's
three-run home run, his third round-tripper in as many games. The Dodgers
tied the game at five with a run in the seventh, and it was still 5-5
after nine innings. In the top of the 11th, Snider knocked in his fourth
run of the game, and Brooklyn starter Carl Erskine retired the Yanks in
order to end the game.
Snider, enjoying an amazing Series, smashed a pair of solo homers off
Game 6 starter Vic Raschi, but Snider's teammates weren't as effective.
Raschi collected a 3-2 win with some relief help from Allie Reynolds.
For the Yanks, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle both homered, and Raschi helped
himself with an RBI single.
That forced a decisive Game 7, and the Yanks owned a 4-2 lead in the
seventh. But Raschi, working in relief, allowed a single and two walks
to load the bases with one out. Bob Kuzava replaced Raschi, and retired
Snider on a pop to third. Jackie Robinson then lifted a short pop to the
right side of the infield, but first baseman Joe Collins lost the ball
in the sun. At the last instant, second baseman Billy Martin rushed over
and made the catch, saving at least one run. Kuzava made quick work of
the Dodgers in the eighth and ninth, preserving New York's 4-2 triumph.
For Kuzava, it was his second Series-clinching save in 12 months.

This gel works so quickly and effectively. It took only a few days to see a remarkable difference. Sucks blackheads out. I have tried way toooooo many products. How I wish I heard about this one sooner. Would definitely recommend. Best thing, it does not dry out my skin even on days when I forget to moisturize. Mitch from NY

This is an excellent product. At the first sign of a pimple, gently rub in gel before bed and under makeup during the day. The blemish usually recedes within a day. Apply lightly on blemish prone areas as a preventative. Nice smelling, colorless gel.
Great Product

I'm 34 years old and have had a problem with acne for about 14 years. Believe me when I say I have tried everything from drugstore to department store to online store to dermatologist. A few months ago my skin was the worst it has ever been. Then I started taking akne-zyme capsules by derma-klear and using this acne gel. Finally my skin is in control. It's not totally clear but almost! It took a couple of months to really see a difference so don't give up. And watch your dairy, it can cause break outs too but try this product!
Its Great!

I sometimes get these very sore inflamed pimple type lesions on the back of my neck under the hair. I believe its foliculitus. I rub in this gel and it works like magic. By the next, the soreness is almost all gone. In 2 days the flare up is history. Works alot better then the Clindomycin I used to apply.
Good for sensitive skin

Purchased at iHerb
I have sensitive skin so I get some big breakouts almost every week. I have always this on hand. It stops acne when it's coming out and dries pimples that are already on your skin very fast, without drying your skin. It also calms the skin, reduces inflammation and redness. You can apply it many times a day and it doesn't irritates sensitive skin. It's a clear gel and the skin absorbs it very well, and the skin stays matt, so you can wear make-up after use it. It does not leave any residues and doesn't make foundation peel off like others do. It smells like tea tree oil. It's a strong herb smell, which I like. This is a number one product and I will buy this again without doubt :)

Bueno, estaría bueno dar soporte para el habla hispana...
Bueno, estaría bueno dar soporte para el habla hispana...
O que aprendas ingles.
I believe this is a good idea, this forum has become popular and having a thread for support in diferent languages would be nice.
Anyway in the end it will be the Admins and Moderator call to leave this or not.
I agree with tons of other spanish speaking forums, but not even close to be as good as this one.
Asi que un espacio en español seria muy bueno.
( A space in spanish would be very good)
Que bueno ver a otro bombeta tico por acá
How good to see another bomb tico here
Usually in English speaking Forums the only allowed language is well, English of course, mostly if not, it would be a mess and babel tower all over the place. Though there might be a "Other Languages" Section on the forum since we have a whole bunch of people from all around the world.
The only problem with this is that wehn you open new forums especific for every language, the answer are spread all over it. What i mean with this is that you make the forum slower, the DB will be bigger just to host the same answers you can find in english. And im sure that if we get some other language forums we will find the same answer in spanish, portuguesse, italian, german... English is well known and easy to learn, and if you cant find an answer here you have plenty of other especific language forums for everyone.
My 2 cents.

Mary Dominica Scardaci
Mary Dominica Scardaci passed away peacefully on Jan. 3, 2014, after a brief illness.
Born on June 8, 1914, in Priocca, Italy, Mary immigrated to America with her father Sabino Bariona and mother Margarita Grasso Bariona. Her sensitivity, warmth and sense of humor will be greatly missed by family and friends.
Mrs. Scardaci grew up in San Francisco, attending Jean Parker Elementary School and Lick Wilmerding High School.
Mary received her professional medical assistant training followed by a long career in San Francisco, San Rafael and Corte Mardera.
An avid tennis player, she met her husband Anthony Scardaci on the courts in North Beach where they lived and raised their family for many years. Tony and Mary moved to San Anselmo in the early 1950 and Mary enjoyed raising her children, playing the piano, and was an active volunteer with a wide circle of friends and neighbors.
Tony and Mary retired to Graeagle in 1975, where they enjoyed the beauty of Plumas County, fishing and hiking in the Lakes Basin Area. Tony passed away in 1980 and Mary remained in their mountain home for 25 years enjoying family visits, travel and friends.
Mary will be long remembered as an avid gardener and for graciously sharing her creative crafts, needlepoint and remarkable talents as a seamstress. Moving to Healdsburg in 2005 to be with family, she often remarked Sonoma County was just like being in Italy and enjoyed walking in wooded parklands and vineyards.
Mrs. Scardaci is survived by her son Tony Scardaci and daughter-in-law Leslie of Clyde, N.C., and her daughter Rita Scardaci and son-in-law San Radelfinger, of Healdsburg; grandchildren Christine Newlin, MaryAnn Hardeman, Jennifer McGarr, Kathleen Colman, Brenda Solis, Brook Radelfinger, Brandy Shaw; and great-grandchildren Jack and Amelia Hardeman, Henry, MaryBeth and William Newlin, Isabel, Marcela and Emilia Arce, Hailey, Andrew, and Sophia Colman, Alisha and Jenna Solis, Jen Shaw and Laurel Wallace. The family thanks Sutter Health Care at Home and Mary's caregivers for their companionship and kindness. Mary's family will celebrate her life this summer in Graeagle. Memorial donations may be made to Sutter Hospice, 110 Stony Point Road, No. 200, Santa Rosa CA 95401.

The Holidays Don't Have to Start with Weight Gain!
Tips for managing common pitfalls this season
There are a few guidelines you can follow in order to avoid the emotional eating and overindulgence often associated with the holidays, helping to minimize holiday weight-gain –saving you the burden and guilt of adding "weight loss" to your list of New Year's resolutions.
- Learn how to say no: Most of us will get more invitations than usual during the holidays. This doesn't mean you have to hire an assistant to manage your social obligations. Running around from event to event can leave you frazzled and lead to weight gain, as a cocktail here and hor dourve there can easily add up to excess calories. Prioritize and attend engagements that do not conflict with your schedule or require you sacrifice the healthy parts of your life like exercise in order to attend.
- Pre-schedule a babysitter: This can be an enormous help so you can focus on running extra errands, cooking a healthy meal, going to the gym, buying gifts, or simply to take a little break.
- Drink plenty of water: While most of us already do drink plenty of water, during the holidays, foods loaded with sodium in addition to an increase in alcohol consumption can lead to dehydration quite quickly. This can turn into feeling bloated and fatigued—the last thing you need this time of the year!
- Avoid eating out too often: Yes, it's tempting-- who wants to go home and make dinner after a long day at work, combined with the multitude of obligations that arise especially during this time of the year? However, restaurant food--no matter how healthy and low-carb menu items may be- contains an enormous amount of sodium that is detrimental to health and can lead to weight gain.
- Stick to your exercise routine: Regardless of choice of exercise-- walking, running, swimming, jogging, or practicing yoga-- regular exercise is a part of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise not only helps keep weight within a healthy range, it also promotes restful sleep and relieves stress.
- Get enough sleep: This is one of the most important tips to follow. Research has shown a link between obesity and insomnia. The study showed that people who slept less then 6 hours of sleep a night are at a higher risk for obesity.
- Be grateful and have fun! Holidays are a time to cherish the people we love and to honor those who are no longer with us.

Pottery Making Illustrated May/June 2014
The time has come for a transition here at Pottery Making Illustrated as I've decided to retire, hang up my editor's hat, and get back into the studio. I've had a chance to look back and reflect on the first 95 issues of the magazine, and am amazed at what's been covered in the world of pottery techniques. From the simple to the complex and the traditional to the experimental, artists from around the world have generously shared their information with enthusiastic readers such as you, and their techniques have been preserved for years to come.—Bill Jones, Editor.

Pottery Making Illustrated March/April 2014
Pottery Making Illustrated January/February 2014
With the new year, I'm looking forward trying new things on a regular basis and maybe trying to perfect some of the techniques that worked well in years past. Maybe you could try a lot of new things in the coming year and don't worry about making mistakes along the way. It'll be worth it.— Bill Jones, editor.

Pottery Making Illustrated November/December 2013
This issue of Pottery Making Illustrated provides a number of creative ways to keep from growing old. Marion Peters Angelica's wine stems provide a creative alternative to glassware, and her directions are really clear (love those labels!). Chandra DeBuse's treat server opens the door for a lot of playful activity, and her idea for making puffy forms can be used on a wide variety of serving pieces. You'll also have fun trying out the masking tape resist on terra sigillata surfaces, making a silkscreen, creating a chess set, starting a glaze pantry, cooking in a micaceous bean pot or playing with the different Japanese tea bowl shapes in "Pottery Illustrated." So don't just sit there and grow old—start playing!—Bill Jones, Editor.
Pottery Making Illustrated September/October 2013
Whether you're constantly working in the studio or an occasional dabbler, there's something for everyone in this issue. While every technique requires some getting used to, just remember to try, try, again and success will surely come your way.- Bill Jones, editor.
Pottery Making Illustrated July/August 2013
Pottery Making Illustrated May/June 2013
If there's one thing I really like about making pottery, it's that it's pretty much remained the same over the past few thousand years. Yes, we have better clays and glazes and we can even track our firings on an iPhone, but throwing and handbuilding just haven't changed all that much. However, some things do change, and in that vein we're pleased to announce that the future has arrived and the new tablet version of Pottery Making Illustrated is now available (if link does not work, check back in a couple of days). Check it out and catch all the features!
—Bill Jones, Editor
Pottery Making Illustrated March/April 2013
With spring just around the corner, there's still time to get some more quality studio time in before we're lured outside with gardening activities or spring cleaning. In this issue we feature a some handbuilding techniques using pre-formed slabs and templates for a large pinch-and-coil project along with techniques for spraying glaze, making a baker and more. -Bill Jones, Editor

Things Change
I love making pottery and I love Pottery Making Illustrated, and it seems like only a short time has passed since we began publishing. When we started, the Internet was still fairly new, and Facebook and Twitter were not even on the horizon. What's in store for the next 15 years? Will you still be reading PMI in printed form or will you receive it as a hologram with potters demonstrating in front of you on the wheel in your studio? It's amazing when you think about how ancient pottery making is and how it now resides side-by-side in an ultra-modern world that changes every time you turn around.
Things change, then again, some things don't.

Harbin entered the day just one strikeout shy of Ann Shelton's career record, which was set in 1995-96, and she broke the mark with the first two outs of the first inning. She pitched a complete game, but JSU fell 3-2. In the second game, the Panthers won 10-0.
Harbin tied Shelton at 635 by getting Panthers leadoff hitter Melise Brown on four pitches and then set the new mark with a seven-pitch strike out of Hannah Cole. She went the distance for her 14th complete game in 23 starts and struck out five to run her school-record total to 639. She held the first-place Panthers to three runs on six hits but fell to their Hannah Mennenga in a pitcher's duel.
Mennenga struck out 16 JSU batters and allowed two runs on five hits to grab the win.
The Gamecocks went into the seventh trailing 3-0, but a leadoff walk by sophomore Savannah Sloan set up a two-run home run from senior Kelci Johnston that cut their deficit to one run. Mennenga was able to get the next three batters and secure the win.
The Panthers (30-11, 17-2 OVC) jumped on the Gamecocks in the first inning of game two, when they got nine runs to grab early command of the game. Stephanie Maday held JSU to just two hits and handed the Gamecocks their first shutout since a 3-0 loss to No. 2 Alabama on Feb. 12 of 2012.
The Gamecocks (24-21, 9-9) will make a quick turnaround to play a doubleheader at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville today at 1 p.m.

The event, which costs $35 per person, will be held at 6 p.m. in the Harrietstown Town Hall auditorium.
The guest of honor will be AMA CEO Edward T. Reilly, who will travel from the company headquarters in New York City for the occasion. Local and regional political and business leaders will talk about AMA's impact on the Saranac Lake area, including state Assemblywoman Janet Duprey, Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas, town of St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency and Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce President Craig Stevens.
"The testimonial is an opportunity for the community to come together and express its gratitude and appreciation to AMA for providing jobs and economic enhancement to our community for well over a half a century," village Mayor Clyde Rabideau said in a press release.
The testimonial dinner is open to the general public. It's being coordinated by Katie Van Anden and catered by Nonna Fina restaurant.
Reservations can be made by calling 518-891-4150.

Scope and content
Sub-series consists of the main register kept by Ottawa to list the C.I.28 certificates issued either to replace destroyed or lost identifying certificates (C.I.5, C.I.30 and C.I.36), or to identify "native-born" persons without such certificates. The register covers C.I.28 certificates nos. 1-14353 (nos. 1-20 being un-issued samples, 24 January 1912 to 19 July 1947). The entries are in numerical order, corresponding to a rough chronological order by date of issue. Each entry gives: the C.I.28 number; the person's name; his/her port, ship and date of arrival in Canada; his/her "serial number" (the Ottawa serial number, indicating the location of the person's entry in the General Registers, above); numbers of C.I.4 and C.I.5 certificates issued; file number of relevant case file (first CR series); date of issue of C.I.28 and Remarks, usually a residence address, name used on arrival in Canada (if different from current name), and notes on undocumented arrivals. Most of the persons listed in this register arrived in Canada at Vancouver or Victoria after 1890, but there are some arrivals through other ports (notably Sarnia, 1895-1905) and some dated as early as the 1870's.

Off The Beaten Track – Best places to get tailored shirts
Some might say that the mark of a true gentleman is polished shoes or the perfect watch. Well, we say that the overlooked detail is the perfectly-fitted shirt. There isn't a ready-to-wear store in the world that can match the elegance of a custom-tailored shirt. But bespoke shirts, where you select everything from the fabric, the prints and the buttons to the cut and design, come with steep price tags. And with thousands of tailors in Bangkok offering this service, it's hard to know which are good and which ones are cutting corners.
So here is your third option: three made to measure boutiques whose choice of cuts and materials are guaranteed to spare you the uncle look.
Button Up
July Tailor
July Tailor is known for the tailor-made suits and shirts it makes for HM the King as well as politicians and government officials. Around for three generations, the place may be old school but it offers a wide range of collars, cuffs and body styles—dependent on customer preferences. "You don't want to look like your dad, do you?" the owner asked us. Prices for made-to-measure shirts are from THB 2,500 but if you're looking for a finer fabric THB 6,500 or more gets you a Zegna-like textile.

Amazing what a week does.
Last week, Shocker fans were lining up for happy pills as their team was in the midst of a three-game slide. "Bubble team" was starting to get thrown around and everyone, including the players and coaches were scratching their heads wondering, "what happened?"
But then Missouri State came to Wichita and it turned around everyone's perceptions. The Drake Bulldogs came to town and all that nervousness was gone with a 71-56 win Wednesday night.
And not only were they trying to get their mojo back, they had to do it knowing Creighton would be playing too, and there was a chance to grab sole possession of the MVC lead.
After UNI took down Creighton 61-54 only minutes after their game ended, it was mission accomplished (for now).
Wichita State is now in sole possession of the Valley race, a game ahead of the Bluejays who dropped down into a tie with Indiana State, also losers Tuesday night.
It's funny how things work out - at the beginning of the month, it was all gloom and doom at the Roundhouse, wondering when the bleeding would stop. Now after back to back dominating wins, optimism couldn't be higher for Wichita State.
WSU went on a 15-2 run to close the first half up double digits and put it in cruise control from there for the 15-point win. Make no mistake that saying cruise control doesn't mean they slacked off. Wichita State was in the zone against the Bulldogs.
Dunks, three's, loose balls and rebounds; all went Wichita State's way. They hold the Missouri Valley Conference's best defense and flexed that, holding Drake to 35 percent shooting all night. That's how you win championships.
Confidence is back, mojo is back but more importantly scoring is back and they are playing some impressive basketball. Fred Van Vleet had his best game in a Shocker uniform Wednesday. Carl Hall continues his ressurection with a double-double against the Bulldogs. The offense is flowing again like it did when they reached 19-1 and were ranked 14th in the country.
This run could not have come at a better time because Wichita State has three of the final five games on the road; Illinois State, Indiana State and Creighton. (Not to mention the Bracket Buster game vs. Detroit... but at least that's at home).
Mojo will carry them into these games but playing solid basketball will get them out with wins, and not many teams are playing better basketball over the past two games than WSU.

- Bob Vila TV Shows >
- Manhattan Remodel and Cape Cod Affordable > Episode 4: Falmouth's Model for Quality Affordable Housing
Landscaping in the Falmouth Affordable House Development and Finished Interior of a Single Family Home
Bob visits with John Druley of Quaker Homes in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Druley is developing a parcel of land in Falmouth that will have eight homes, two of them affordable for families earing a modest income. Bob and Druley discuss the reality of housing in Falmouth, where one-acre building lots are required for new housing. A lot, Druley explains, will sell for around $300,000 with no construction. For this development, Druley has invoked Massachusetts' Act 40B to gain relief from zoning restrictions such as the one-acre minimum lot size. In return, Druley must make 20 percent of the homes available as affordable homes, for those earning up to 80 percent of the area's median income. The lots are 10,000 sqaure feet with a 40-foot setback from the road, 10-foot sidelines, and a 45 to 50-foot backyard. The homes are 1,800-square-foot Capes with attached garages, clad in white cedar shingles, with skylights, architectural-style roof shingles, and no-maintenance, energy-efficient vinyl windows. Druley explains that the affordable and market-priced homes must be indistinguisable in design, materials, and layout. The state assigns a 40B auditor to monitor the project and assure that no corners are cut on the affordable homes, and that the developer earns no more than 20 percent profit from the development. Druley explains that the market-priced homes in the neighborhood will sell for between $375,000 and $400,000, which will help offset the $119,900 selling price for the affordable homes.
- Part 1: Discussing Falmouth's Model for Affordable Housing
- Part 2: Tour of an Affordable Home
- Part 3: Landscaping in the Falmouth Affordable House Development and Finished Interior of a Single Family Home
- Bob joins John Druley at another of the Quaker Homes that is nearly completed and ready for landscaping. This home is virtually the same as the first-time homebuyer model that Bob visited under construction. Landscaping will be standard for all of the homes with gardens out front, a picket fence and rose bushes, a clamshell driveway, and cobblestone edging. Initially, the septic systems were problematic for Druley since the burden of eight homes with lawns on the groundwater system and adjacent salt ponds presented concerns for the enviromental review board. According to Title 5, denitrification systems costing about $7,000 apiece would be required for each of the homes. Druley proposed reducing the size of the lawns, using low-nitrate fertilizers, and passing the savings on to the two affordable homes in the development. This further reduced the selling price of the homes from $145,000 to $119,900. Bob and John Druley of Quaker Homes in Falmouth, Massachusetts, tour the interior of a finished single-family home in the development Druley is building with Act 40B approval. This model has features not selected for the affordable, first-time homebuyer model, including a loft-style living room and upstairs bedrooms at each end of the house. This is a standard floor plan, but one that is better suited to empty-nesters than to young families. The Palladian window in the front is a standard option that allows lots of light to enter the home. Hardwood floors or tile throughout the downstairs rooms are standard, as is the deck off the kitchen and dining area.
- Part 4: Tour of the Completed Interior of an Affordable Home
This project deals with two very different notions of home. Bob begins on New York City's Upper West Side, where an 1890s Brownstone is revitalized through high-quality craftsmanship and sensitive design. New York's past meets its present, as the entire floor is recaptured and refurbished to create a spacious urban apartment on the doorstep of Central Park.
At the same time, Bob works with a Cape Cod developer to apply Massachusetts land use statute 40B to create affordable housing, and a neighborhood of homes in Mashpee, MA. These Energy Star certified homes show how quality building practices and reasonable asking prices can work together to provide livable, affordable homes and neighborhoods to those who work in our communities.

Episode 1 - A New Lift for a Manhattan BrownstoneDescription:
Bob is on Manhattan's Upper West Side to renew a 2,000-square-foot Brownstone apartment. First, he looks at what made Brownstones significant, including their details and façades.

 Inside the building, Bob shows how the space was cut up in the 1940s to make a warren of rooms. These walls and finishes will be removed as the space is gutted to prepare for new studs, walls, plumbing, and finishes.

 Pieces will be salvaged for architectural resale, including the pink sink from the bathroom and the retro cabinets in the kitchen, but everything else will go. Bob also visits Central Park, its caretakers, trees, and monuments.
Episode 2 - Demolition in the Manhattan BrownstoneDescription:
The big story is the cornice molding found in tact when the drop ceiling came down. The molding will set a tone for the main living space, where the bricks have been removed to install a flue liner and drafting fireplace. All of the 40s wall, surface, and ceiling treatments are gone, along with the lath and plaster, leaving the bare brick and exposed joists from the original construction. Remodels have cut into the joist work or damaged it, so some reworking will be necessary to build up for the floors and ceilings. The floor joists are sistered to make a level, solid footing for the Georgia-Pacific Plytanium subflooring that goes under the wood floor. Laser levels allow the carpenters to set level lines throughout the apartment horizontally for the floor and vertically for the new steel studs they are installing. Finally, a flexible flue liner is run through the wall, and up the chimney for the new fireplace.
Episode 3 - Building Affordable Homes on Cape CodDescription:
Affordable housing is the story in this project as Bob heads to Mashpee, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, where a state law is helping put higher density, affordable housing in place for four families who live and work in the community. Bob meets Pat Fiero of the Housing Assistance Corporation who explains the hurdles faced by families needing to live near their workplaces in a town where the average home price is $450,000. Bob visits Mashpee Commons and looks at mixed-use development that is providing a town center, housing, commercial property, recreational space, and a new church as a start to this new town development. Bob also meets the developer, Joe Valle, who explains the challenges in developing affordable housing and how this project was made possible by invoking Massachusetts? 40B land use and development law. On site, Bob Bevilaqua moves the earth to prepare the sites, shows the tie-offs for electrical and phone lines, and explains the drainage plan.

"Hayy, guys, it's me, Collin, y'know, like usual." I'm an 18 year old guy from the state of Maine. I can be pretty awkward and shy sometimes, but once you really get to know me, I don't shut the fuck up. x3 My hobbies include Tumblr, Nintendo (especially Pokémon), listening to music, and spinning around in my gray chair. Feel free to ask me any questions, anon or not! I also love talking to people, just keep in mind that I'm not the best at responding promptly, and it can be hard for me to keep track of messages sometimes. ^ ^

May 11, 2013
Boy Scouts from the Monticello District hosted the second-annual Mega Fun Day at McIntire Park.
The event stresses outdoor fun. Activities on the day included how to raise and lower a flag, how to use a compass, and how to build water bottle rockets.
The motto of the Boy Scouts is "Do Your Best," and organizers hope the kids can learn these skills and use them throughout their lives.
It's amazing to see how they grow and develop and how their confidence builds and how they work together," said Diane Benham, the volunteer activities and civic service chair for the Monticello District. "And they get so excited. They come up to me, 'Ms. Benham, Ms. Benham, I learned this, I know how to do that.' It's really nice to see how they grow and learn new things and want to try new things."
The scouts also took part in a service project by making fleece blankets to distribute to other kids in need.

Compulsory education - in schools only? : divergent developments in Germany

Germany is the focus of this paper, owing to the fact that since 1938 it has had the strictest laws on compulsory schooling worldwide. As a result, homeschooling in Germany has become virtually impossible. There are interesting divergences between policy and practice in the German setting, both in the country's educational history and present educational problems. The Länder (federal states) have the responsibility for education, and they are taking a much stricter line against homeschoolers than a decade ago, especially by depriving parents of the custody of their homeschooled children at an early stage. The laws relied upon, however, were never intended to deal with such educational matters; they were designed to punish parents who abuse or neglect their children. The present, highly questionable legal action succeeds only because of the consent of state schools, state social welfare offices, and courts. The same laws are not used against the parents of the approximately 250,000 teens who are truant. The functioning of the legal and sociological machinery in Germany is being employed aggressively to stamp out homeschooling, while at the same time it ignores the crucial issue of parents who allow their children to skip school—thus depriving them of an adequate education at home or elsewhere. At the same time, the number of specialists in law and education, as well as politicians and governmental experts who argue in favor of homeschooling is growing, and media reports on homeschooling are much more positive than they were a decade ago.…

ruling that on remand to the District Court the CIA will have to once again review
294 documents withheld in their entireties to determine whether other exemption claims
cover all the now non-exempt "Exemption 2" materials, or whether all or some of the Exemption 2
materials are segregable and can be released, perhaps with some Exemption 1 (national security) materials as well.

A 6-4 loss to Grissom the deciding game of the Class 6A second round clinched that Oxford's seniors won't finish as state champions, though they enjoyed that mob scene in Montgomery's Riverwalk Stadium as juniors.
Trent Simpson is off to Mississippi State for football and, possibly, baseball, but no one projects a big draft day for Oxford in June, like what the Yellow Jackets enjoyed almost a year ago.
But the group including Simpson, Matt Butler, Dylan Johnson, Joe McGuire and Jared Shake left a mark of consistency. They left that mark by getting a nearly all-new team within one strike of the third round.
It's a mark that was still missing from an Oxford program that missed the playoffs a year before winning the school's first 6A title in any sport.
"These seniors have proved that Oxford baseball is something to fear when you come here or Oxford is coming to your house," Brooks said.
They did it with a big final push, sweeping Pell City in the final regular-season series to make the playoffs then sweeping third-ranked Huntsville in the first round.
The Yellow Jackets beat Grissom 9-8 in Game 1 of their second-round series and held a 4-2 lead with Grissom down to its last strike in Friday's Game 2.
Grissom rallied to force extra innings and won 5-4, forcing Saturday's Game 3.
"That'll be something to make those kids for next year push that much harder to not get down to that last little bit and lose focus," Simpson said. "Hopefully, they remember this and work hard during this offseason and summer and come back with a fresh start next year and play for the third round and the finals."
As for Saturday, Grissom went up 5-0 in the third inning, sending 11 batters to the plate. They mounted that decisive rally with two singles to the outfield, two infield singles, two hit batsmen, two walks and a sacrifice fly.
Still, the Oxford team that rallied to make the playoffs rallied again in hopes of staying. Simpson's home run to lead off the sixth inning and Butler's 2-run double cut Grissom's lead to 5-3.
Grissom added a run on a bases-loaded passed ball in the bottom of the sixth, but Oxford manufactured one on McGuire's opposite-field, sacrifice fly. It was a line drive that carried.
The game ended with Drake Champion at the plate, representing the go-ahead run. He homered Friday but struck out swinging Saturday.
Oxford held a somber team huddle at the mound, followed by Brooks' take-a-knee huddle with seniors along the first-base line on Bud McCarty Field. McGuire struggled to choke back emotions, but there was perspective behind Oxford's late-season surge and near-miss against Grissom.
"If you think of it, I mean, second round? It sucks," McGuire said. "But it's an accomplishment, after rebuilding, and no one expected us to even be in this game.
"We may not have made it to the third, fourth or fifth round, but we won something for next year."
This Oxford team had to rebuild after losing eight starters. The Jackets lost their starting rotation, with Tucker Simpson (Trent's brother) starting at the University of Florida this season and Jackson Stephens and Zach Lovvorn playing in the minor leagues.
"For them to make it to the top 16 teams in the state after a year where we lost 13 seniors and eight starters, you would think that, 'Man, they left a name for themselves, this 2013 year,'" Brooks said.
There were challenges beyond replacing departed seniors. It took nearly the whole season for Trent Simpson to fully recover from a football knee injury and get comfortable but he hit nine home runs in Oxford's final three series.
He hit a grand slam and walk-off homer in Friday's opener against Grissom and the solo shot Saturday.
"My dad, the day before we played Pell City, he said, 'All right, you've had your at bats. Now it's time to get locked in,'" Simpson said. "That Pell City series made it click for me.
"I'll remember it (his big senior-season finish) for the rest of my life. Hopefully, that's not the last baseball game I'll ever play."
Oxford finished 18-17 but proved it's how one finishes. Two years ago, the Jackets won 31 games but missed the playoffs.
Two years later, Oxford is the program that lost a generational group of seniors but came within a strike of the third round.
"The best feeling in the world is proving people wrong, and I feel like this team exceeded every expectation that was set before us," Simpson said. "I was really proud to be a part of this team."
